Ragunda Municipality

Ragunda Municipality is a municipal area in Jämtland County in northern Sweden with a landscape of forests, lakes, and scattered settlements. The territory is centered around the town of Hammarstrand, which serves as the administrative hub, and features the typical character of rural northern Sweden.

The municipality was established in 1974 when three former independent administrative regions were merged. This reorganization created the foundation for the territory's current administrative structure.

The region reflects traditional Nordic life, with local craftsmanship and forestry practices that have shaped daily routines for generations. Visitors can experience these customs in small communities and at local gatherings where regional traditions remain active.

The area is sparsely populated and is best explored by foot, bicycle, or car since public transport options are limited. Summer is the ideal season for visiting when roads are accessible and the weather is mild.

A Thai royal pavilion stands near Utanede, the only structure of its kind outside Thailand, originating from a historical journey. This unexpected building connects Nordic and Southeast Asian history in an unusual way.
